Per the Associated Press, trainer Rick Burkholder said that Vick doesn’t have “a whole lot of concussion symptoms.” Burkholder said that Vick will undergo additional testing, and that he’ll see an independent neurologist in “the next day or two.”

Every Eagles player who has suffered a concussion since the league instituted the current procedures in 2009 has missed at least one game, with the exception of receiver Jason Avant.

In Vick’s case, he wants to play. And he’s apparently willing to assume the risk of further injury. But since, as explained on today’s PFT Live, Congress cares more about concussions than the organs contained in the human torso, Vick needs special permission to play, while Tony Romo can return to a game despite having a broken rib and a punctured lung.

This discussion is moot. The bottom line is Vick needs to be examined by and independent physician and get cleared to pay. Until he receives the independent examination, there is not point in arguing about whether he will play or not.

Vick not only are you a low life sleeze, your an idiot in your decision making!

Every sports places needs to get off the “Tony Romo” crap. He had some fractured ribs….his lung most likely got punctured after he went back in. I doubt the medical staff said “Oh you’ve got a punctured lung…but hey, if you want to go in go ahead.”
